Xxxxxx Xxxx Collection Facility and General Operations. During the month of August, a total of 1,590 fish were captured at the Xxxxxx Dam Adult Fish Collection Facility. The majority of these fish were summer steelhead (1,362 – 86%). A total of 2,097 spring Chinook have been captured at the Xxxxxx Trap through August 2018. The first early- run Coho arrived at the Xxxxxx Trap on August 21, 2018. By the end of the month, 136 coho had been captured. The Xxxxxx Dam Fish Collection Facility was taken out of operation on August 2, 2018 for annual maintenance. It was returned to service on August 8, 2018. Other than during this outage, the facility ran continuously during the month. River flow below Xxxxxx Dam remained near the minimum flow requirement of 1,200 cfs throughout the month.

By the end of June, all surplus adult spring Chinook previously being held at Xxxxx River Hatchery have been distribution into the upper basin or used as brood stock. By the end of August, 145 adult early-run coho (93 male/52 female) had been transported upstream along with 41 wild jacks (< 20 inches). During the month of August, three coho that were PIT tagged in the upper basin had been detected as returning adults at the Xxxxxx Adult Collection Facility.

The total number of out-migrants collected at the Swift FSC during the month of May 2019 has eclipsed all other previous years of operation (i.e., since 2013). The highest number of out-migrants collected previously during the month of May was in 2018, when 26,135 out-migrants were collected overall.

While we saw an early bump in larger 2+ smolts in late-March and early- April, most fish out-migrating in May were 1+ smolts from the 2017 brood year. We expect to see coho smolts at the Swift FSC through June, although we anticipate daily collection numbers to decline as the reservoir water temperature warms through the month. The number of spring Chinook collected at the Swift FSC remained lower than expected through April 2019. Historically, we have seen a higher number of juvenile spring Chinook coming out earlier in the year; however this year, numbers did not begin increasing until early-May. This is also the first year in which the run is mostly comprised of NOR fish from the 1,110 adults transported upstream in 2017. In all previous years’, nearly all juvenile spring Chinook smolt collected at the Swift FSC were comprised of fish released in the upper basin as part of the acclimation program. This program was discontinued in 2018 runwhen these releases were then transferred downstream in support of increasing adult returns. Of these fish, 324 Juvenile steelhead numbers collected at the Swift FSC were higher than in all previous years to date except for in 2018 when over 7,500 steelhead smolts had been captured and transported from the Xxxxxx Dam Fish Collection Facility with an additional 371 fish being transported from the Xxxxx River Hatchery. Transported upstream were 175 females, 488 Males, and 32 jacks. By downstream by the end of JuneMay. Some possible reasons for this slightly lower number this year include: lower than average adults returns and lower spawner abundance in 2016 and 2017, all surplus adult spring Chinook previously being held or perhaps related to recent modifications to the entrance of the Swift FSC. The ongoing collection efficiency study at Xxxxx River Hatchery have been distribution into the upper basin or used as brood stockSwift FSC will help assess these possibilities.

Karchesky (PacifiCorp) also mentioned that on June 1, 2019 approximately 2,000 juvenile out- migrants perished during downstream transport from Swift Reservoir. The investigation is still ongoing; although it appears that the system as smolts earlier this yearmortality was caused by operator error in making the proper adjustment to the fish tank oxygen level.
